In what fantasy world is a happily married husband, father, successful businessman and philanthropist a "sociopath". Jesus, Mary and Joseph where do you come up with this stuff?

Many sociopaths are married. Being a sociopath does not mean you are evil persay, it just means you have no conscience of how your actions can affect others. Do you know anything about this man?

George Soros led a group of traders to break the entire foreign currency system of Great Britain—and profit handsomely at the expense of British taxpayers and others who were on the wrong side of the greatest financial bet of the 20th century.

On being asked about helping the Nazis as a young boy, he betrayed no guilt as a grown man looking back on his actions. His motto is well someone else would do it - and that applies to all his actions both as a young boy and as a grown man. Just because he does some good things does not negate the terrible repercussions of his actions.

I didn't know much about him so I watched some interviews he gave. In his own words he is a man devoid of compassion but in fairness to him he is brutally honest about his lack of conscience.

Open to correction but seem to recall, he was a teen.The point is he looks back on what he did with zero remorse.Israel has declared him a nefarious influence.Are they bigots/anti- Semitic too? What a bozo

You could say the same thing about anyone who profits from capitalism. That is the system we operate in. He played it successfully and tries to give his money back to good causes.

As I said this has been debunked before on this forum. He was 13 and fourteen years old at the time and trying to survive the Nazi death squads. His father arranged for him to poise as an assistant to an Hungarian official (who was a friend of Soros' father) when Hungary was under Nazi occupation. He did nothing wrong. Are you seriously suggesting he should have turned himself in to be sent to a death camp?

All this slander of Soros comes from Russian propaganda because he supports Ukrainian independence and freedom from Russian meddling generally in Eastern Europe. Sad that you have fallen for it.
